National Gallery of Art Exhibit

Thanks to Maggie for giving me the heads-up on another exhibit of interest to us! The National Gallery of Art will have an exhibit starting on October 31st. The title is The Pre-Raphaelite Lens: British Photography and Painting 1848-1875. Of course it will feature work of Julia Margaret Cameron and the photographic portraits of Janey among other things.

The Beautiful Necessity

This blog is devoted to all things Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts. The two movements began during the Victorian era, and celebrated a return to the aesthetics and simplicity of medieval times, as well as the romance of nature and chivalry.

The central tenets of the two movements are still very important today, perhaps even more so.
